A parental guardian is, in fact, primarily responsible for appropriately guiding a child through life into adulthood. However, that guardian is NOT responsible for any willful actions committed by the child unless there is proof that the child is guided specifically to the end that a crime is committed.

Should parents be legally responsible for their child's crime?

If you are an adult and your child commits a crime you can and will be held liable for there actions if you knew they were committing the action or failed to act in a reasonable manner to stop them and did not report them. You can also be held liable for any damages they caused committing an illegal act. As a parent you are legally responsible not only for the actions that they conduct but the damage they inflict. You are responsible for their school attendance and for them complying to any and all state issued mandates after the fact. If you feel that you can not control your child or that you can not prevent them from committing illegal acts, it is best that you turn them over to the states juvenile program as an unruly child to prevent you from being held liable for their actions.
